    Speaking of duo, only duo sirron wants to be a part of is with Bron.

    And speaking of crack, here's a live look at sirron when Bron "pats" him on his "back"...

    I don't agree that its simple and not a problem. It is a major problem when Ball and Ingram aren't able to produce with LeBron on the court. LeBron taking away Balls one major NBA talent (passing) and BI becoming a passive mid-range shooter is a big deal for this team going forward.

    We need to find a way to have these guys play to their strengths together or some need to get traded for other guys that complement LeBron. When push comes to shove, its not LeBron who gets traded.

    I don't disagree with the bolded, but my point is that the lack of assists in the box score doesn't really tell the story in terms of how he played and overall impact. For the last 4 games, he was clearly having an impact on the game and not just drifting around. If he isn't having an impact, then yeah that's a problem, but looking at a box score and saying his assists are low is not at all indicative of his contributions in these recent games. I.e. there have been times he attacked the basket, missed, but someone else gets an easy putback. It actually looks worse in the box score for him, but those are easy points we are getting simply due to him staying aggressive.

    i still think that the theory of lonzo (good-shooting, good team-defending combo g who doesn't have to run p&r all day to be successful) is sort of the ideal lebron james backcourt player. the problem is that lonzo hasn't been the shooter people expected.

    well, that and he's hurt all the time.

    but all the talk about lebron impacting his game: he's supposed to be low-usage. that's his charm, folks. if he had to carry the burden in the halfcourt, things would get ugly. he doesn't handle the ball particularly well under pressure, and he's a complete non-threat to score on ball screens. you can't hand that guy the ball in today's nba. you have to have a playmaking forward who can put the ball on the floor if lonzo's your guard, imo. cue lebron.

    i can understand ingram struggling to find his way, given his style of play and strengths. but lonzo and kuzma should be able to fit perfectly.

    His ankle is impacting his offense. Defense is still okay.

    Better than I expected last night with his injury.

    I think he can work with LeBron he’s just got to keep improving as a shooter.

    Sometimes when Lonzo turns on the afterburner I'm reminded of the CL era remark by someone, "ooooh Barbosa's an alien he's so fast"

    Digging the full court chest pass on the money connection back and forth developing with Lonzo and LeBron. On display last night. Zo has a little more flair with the way he finishes his with the wrists. :D :p
